The Deemer Road Complete Streets project is enhancing safety, connectivity, and infrastructure in this growing neighborhood. This initiative will complete the half-street improvements between Archer Drive and Kellogg Road, adding bike lanes, a sidewalk on the east side, and upgraded street lighting. These improvements will make walking and biking more accessible while supporting future WTA transit connections, strengthening a well-integrated multimodal network. As part of our commitment to smart, sustainable urban development, this project is designed to serve the community’s needs now and in the years to come.
Project Status – 2025
This project is included in the City’s 2026-2031 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program. Vehicle traffic will experience minimal impact during construction. However, pedestrians and bicyclists should expect significant disruptions. A temporary walking and biking detour will be established to ensure safety and accessibility throughout the project.
Background
The Deemer Road Complete Streets project in the growing Meridian neighborhood was developed in close collaboration with WTA to support future transit expansion. Currently, the intersection at Kellogg presents a challenge for establishing a WTA route on Deemer Road due to its limited width. Additionally, the corridor lacks continuous bike and pedestrian facilities, creating obstacles for those walking and biking. This project directly addresses these barriers, ensuring safer, more accessible transportation options for the community while paving the way for a well-connected, multimodal network.
Funding
The Deemer Road Complete Streets project is partially funded by Transportation Funds and Climate Action Funds. Additional funding for the project will be pursued through upcoming grant opportunities.
